Chapter Forty-Eight: You Don't Know How Beautiful You Are
"Knock...... Knock ......"
The knock on the door woke Taylor from his memories, and he straightened his hair and said, "Please come in." β
Di Xue walked into the cabin with a medicine tray, looked at Taylor who was still sitting on the bed in pajamas, and smiled, "Haven't gotten up yet?"
Taylor scratched his long, messy blonde hair and smiled sheepishly.
Di Xue said: "Then change the medicine first, and then I will accompany you out for a walk." β
Taylor's smile was well-behaved: "Okay." β
So Di Xue began to help Taylor change the dressing, and then used the magic of the origin system to check the injury, in the process neither of them spoke, did not feel embarrassed, only a warm atmosphere permeated the small wooden house.
The dusk-colored light peculiar to the dark elf clan land penetrated through the small window of the wooden house, swaying with the shadow of the leaves, and after a busy day, Di Xue took a long breath, raised her head and said to Taylor: "You recover quickly, and you will be completely healed in two or three days." β
Taylor was squinting her eyes and enjoying the morning breeze blowing into the cabin with the scent of grass and trees, when she heard Di Xue's words, she was slightly stunned, and then looked at Di Xue and said, "Actually, you don't have to wait for me, I can go back by myself when I am injured." β
Di Xue was stunned, and said a little dazed: "Don't you like me to accompany you?"
Taylor suddenly wanted to slap his mouth, feeling that he was really hopelessly stupid, and hurriedly said: "No, no, why do you think like this, I'm just afraid that something happens to you, and you have been out for so long, your father and queen must be very worried." β
Di Xue said with relief: "It doesn't matter, they know that I am here to find you." β
Taylor wondered, "Uh...... Is there anything between the two?"
Di Xue smiled: "Little fool, have you forgotten who brought you back to Greenstod?"
Taylor said, "Holy Beastmaster?"
Taylor's memory of the mysterious Beastmaster was very vague, except that she had a long dream after she fell unconscious, in which her body was very warm, as if floating in the clouds, and when she woke up, she found herself in this small cabin.
Di Xue said: "Yes, I met Rong Feng before entering the Fog Forest, he told me Master Herris that you will be fine, I think your teacher knows the Holy Beast King, he must have asked the Holy Beast King to take care of you, so he will leave the Fog Forest with confidence." And Master Herris has now gone to the Eternal City, and the Father and Emperor know that there is a Saint Beast King's existence in the Fog Forest, and they will not worry about my safety. β
Then Di Xue said a little angrily: "I don't know if it was your teacher or the Holy Beast King's idea, they actually let you fight with that group of assassins of the Dark Brotherhood in the fog forest for so long to save you, can't they see that you have been seriously injured!"
Listening to the concern in Di Xue's words, Taylor was a little moved, and said: "It's okay, I think the teacher is to train me, this experience has made me gain a lot, I feel ...... I may be about to become a grandmaster. β
Hearing this news, Di Xue was sincerely happy for Taylor, the senior martial artist was promoted to the grandmaster, and the sage-level magician achieved the realm of the Great Demon Guide, which are the two heavenly moats that are extremely difficult on the path of cultivation, I don't know how many martial artists and magicians are blocked by these two giant gates.
Taylor said to Di Xue with some ill will: "If I become a grandmaster-level martial artist, will you feel very oppressed? Don't worry, I won't bully you, ahahaha......"
Di Xue: "......"
Taylor's injuries were mainly in his legs, arms, and some meridians in his internal organs, all of which were caused by over-squeezing his potential to forcibly extract the Bright Fighting Qi. If it weren't for the timely use of healing magic by a Saint Beast King's level of Being, coupled with the conditioning of the good herbs of the Dark Elf Clan these days, she might never be able to use her Dou Qi and become a wasted person.
After breakfast, Di Xue accompanied Taylor out of the cabin and walked on the huge branches of the Ancient Tree of Life, Taylor's injuries recovered well, and now he no longer needed crutches to walk, and because he had taken the rare holy relics of the Emperor Clan's Heavenly Elixir, more than a dozen life-and-death battles in the fog forest also made Taylor's comprehension of the light fighting qi go further, so she was a blessing in disguise, as Taylor himself said, she may now be promoted to a grandmaster-level powerhouse at any time.
"The practice of martial artists is different from that of you magicians, martial artists, especially assassins, need to fight non-stop, and only in the battle of life and death can they understand the true meaning of martial arts, so the teacher wants to make this distress my opportunity, so he didn't save me directly, the teacher is for my good, so don't blame him anymore." Taylor's eyes were bent into a pair of beautiful crescents, and he said to Di Xue with a smile.
Looking at Taylor's heartless appearance, Di Xue sighed helplessly, and sat down with her on a branch near the lake on the ancient tree of life.
Di Xue has always complained about Master Herris's act of throwing Taylor alone in the fog forest, but Taylor can understand Master Herris's painstaking efforts, and has no complaints about his teacher's "death and not saving" behavior.
I don't know where the wind from the wind tunnel blows into the underground world to bring the lake surface to sparkle and fluctuate, and this time this underground lake in the center of Greenstod is a golden one under the reflection of the ancient tree of life, like countless broken gold petals shining.
Di Xue admired the scenery of the dark elf land full of alien customs, shook her head and said, "I really don't know why you always respect your teacher so much, one day Herris told you to jump off the Tower of Eternity, and you didn't blink." β
Taylor chin slightly, two hands propped on the rough branches of the ancient tree, I wonder if it was the beautiful tranquility here that touched her, she talked to Di Xue for the first time about her life experience:
"Because, the teacher raised me. β
Di Xue was slightly stunned, he looked at the corners of Taylor's still upturned mouth, and the broken gold water shining in the girl's royal blue eyes, and he didn't know why he felt a pain in his heart.
She no longer had the Brotherhood of Light's silver light armor on her shoulders at this point, and she looked so thin.
Di Xue couldn't help but stretch out her hand and let Taylor snuggle up on her shoulder, Taylor was obviously not used to this kind of intimate behavior, and the female assassin, who had always been domineering and cold, actually squirmed a little at this time.
In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Di Xue said, "Would you like to tell me your story?"
Taylor groaned for a moment, and muttered in Di Xue's arms, "My story is actually very simple and short......"
In the past, when Di Xue asked about Taylor's family, Taylor just said that he had no parents, and Di Xue didn't ask any more, and in the eyes of the people of the Manhua Empire, it was not good to listen to other people's privacy.
Now Di Xue knows that Taylor turned out to be an abandoned orphan.
Eighteen years ago, in the winter of a snowy night, Master Herris, who was out on errands, picked up Taylor outside a small town in Xiyue Province.
When the master picked up Taylor, she was still a little baby girl, her body was stiff from the cold, her face was purple, and she was almost breathless, and it was Herris who warmed her body with the master's bright fighting spirit to bring her back to life.
There are two ancient characters tattooed on the swaddling clothes of the little girl, this kind of character is almost extinct on the mainland, no one uses it anymore, Master Herris once asked Master Tina to consult the ancient books, hoping to find the parents for the little girl, but even in the hall of books of the theological law academy with the largest collection of books on the mainland, only those two ancient characters can be found pronounced "T" and "L" respectively, and there is no other record.
So Master Herris named the baby girl Taylor and adopted her.
Since then, there has been an extra little girl with amazing martial arts talent in the Brotherhood of Light.
Twelve years later, Master Herris took Taylor to the Eternal City to prepare her for her spiritual practice.
Then she threw away all of her teacher's coils on the streets of Eternal City......
Taylor's story is as simple as she says, and at the same time simple and sad.
Dexue looked at Taylor and listened to her tell her story calmly, as if it were really just a story. Di Xue felt more and more as if she had never known and understood the girl in front of her.
I couldn't help but hug her tighter, hoping to give her a little comfort.
Feeling Di Xue's intentions, Taylor looked at him and said: "Actually, I have never felt sad because of my own background, I have never met my parents, I have no resentment or anger towards them for abandoning me, I grew up in the headquarters of the Brotherhood of Light, the teacher is my father, and the Brotherhood of Light is my home." β
"Although I was more than a year old when the teacher picked me up, I always took the day the teacher picked me up as my birth date, so I ...... I haven't turned 18 this year, which means I'm not an adult yet. In order to dispel the somewhat oppressive atmosphere, Taylor said mischievously.
Emperor Xue was embarrassed, Taylor's innocent smile made him sigh in his heart, he reached out and gently combed the girl's soft blonde hair, and he said softly: "Actually, it would be good if you kept doing this, don't always hide yourself in the dark." β
Yes, Taylor, who followed Di Xue in a white coat and silver armor with a hood covering most of his face, was silent and cold, and now the girl who sat on the branch of the Ancient Tree of Life and shook her legs and her long blond hair was casually scattered.
Taylor was stunned for a moment, but said, "I'm used to it, I don't like to be eye-catching." β
Di Xue thought for a moment and came to a conclusion: "Is it because she is too pretty?
Taylor's face flushed, and he said, "No, everyone in the Brotherhood of Light is like that. β
Di Xue looked at Taylor very seriously: "You know what? β
Taylor shook his head.
Di Xue said in disbelief, "Didn't anyone sue you?"
Taylor thought for a while and said, "You, An An, Rong Feng, Sister Dilan, and Uncle Xu said it, I didn't take it seriously. β
"Hey......" Di Xue sighed helplessly.
"Actually, no, maybe, better than the average person, but those noble ladies in the Eternal City are much more beautiful than me, right?" Taylor said, scratching his head.
Di Xue solemnly told SΓΉ Taylor: "How is it possible, if you dress up, you will definitely compare them all." β
